Education History – Milton Hook Heritage Series

This series was written by Dr Milton Hook an educator who has researched the pioneering years of Adventism and education in the South Pacific during the early years. As part of our church history we felt that this series would be of value to secondary students as part of their Bible curriculum, as they look at both the history and the missionary spirit of many of our pioneers. Also included is the life story of Albert Piper who was the first missionary of the Seventh-day Adventist Church in Australasia to islands of the Pacific. Please feel free to download and use these booklets which are free of any copyright and may be reproduced as required. We hope you will enjoy the stories and history within this series and be able to share it with the students.
